Why does the Laker Channel make me download a Directv player?

For the last few weeks I have been unable to watch Lakers on ch. 691. It tells me to install the Directv player, yet installation never completes.  I have no problem watching ch 2 (CBS) with no issues as well as almost every other channel with the wi-fi symbol.  Did Directv remove the Lakers channel for viewing online?
